Zelensky noted that he was trying to draw the White House's attention to the close cooperation between Moscow and Tehran.
In particular, Zelensky claimed that Russian military satellites had photographed critical energy infrastructure in the Gulf states and Israel, as well as the locations of American military bases throughout the region. The Kremlin, he added, was providing the Iranian regime with details and images to facilitate its attacks.
I said it publicly. Have we perhaps sensed a reaction from the United States towards Russia, a reaction like they have to stop all this? The problem is that they trust Putin. And that's a shame.
He added that the Trump team failed to "really understand the details of what the Russian Federation wants."
